What kind of Dell SAN storage? They have at least 3 different product families, and that doesn't include the stuff from EMC. Do you know how to create volumes on the SAN? How about adding iSCSI initiators? Do you know how to configure ESXi for iSCSI?<br />

Talking with Dell EMC support is probably a good first step for you.

No Access To SAN Storage

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.

Storage

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
